Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution exposure assessment methods utilized in epidemiological studies.
TL;DR: This review critically reviewed 157 studies over 29 years that utilized one of five categories of exposure methods (proximity, air dispersion, hybrid, human inhalation, and biomarkers) and found proximity models were found to be a questionable technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of AERMOD at different time scales
TL;DR: Evaluating the performance of AERMOD in estimating sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations in Dallas and Ellis counties in Texas suggests that SO2 concentrations simulated by AER MOD at the 8 h, daily, monthly, and annual intervals match their respective observed concentrations much better compared with the simulated 1 and 3 h So2 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially differentiated and source-specific population exposure to ambient urban air pollution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a population exposure modeling system that integrates air dispersion modeling, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and population exposure techniques to spatially characterize a source-specific exposure to ambient air pollution for an entire urban population at a fine geographical scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
An emission-weighted proximity model for air pollution exposure assessment.
TL;DR: A novel Emission Weighted Proximity Model (EWPM) is introduced to improve the TPM, which takes into consideration the emissions from all sources potentially influencing the receptors, and appears to more accurately portray individual exposure relative to TPM.
Journal Article
Maternal sulfur dioxide exposure and the risk of low birth-weight babies
TL;DR: Analysis of data on SO2 emission, meteorology, topography as well as LBW and control babies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of the United States in 1997 showed that the risk of LBW was not significantly increased with the exposure of pregnant mothers to higher level of SO2 when all data were considered together as one group.
